Pronunciation of the T sound
We can highlight common mistakes made in the pronunciation of the T sound:
- replacing the sound T (it is front-lingual) with G and K (they are called back-lingual);
- mixing or rearranging consonants located next to the sound T (“rolled” instead of “glass”);
- after P or K, the T sound is lost and replaced with a softening (“piichka” instead of “birdie”);
- replacing the sounds Ch and C with T (“nine” instead of “girl”, “Petsya” instead of “Petya”).
Children who replace the T sound with some other sound often have incorrect articulation. The child raises his tongue to the palate, while the tip of the tongue should rest against the front teeth.
The reasons for incorrect pronunciation are as follows:
- malfunctions of the articulatory apparatus (speech organs);
- the lower jaw is weakly developed, which is why it is inactive during speech;
- the hearing organs are poorly developed, which is why the child cannot distinguish sounds by ear;
- imitating an adult who has problems with correct pronunciation.
Only a speech therapist can make a diagnosis. And parents, in turn, can practice at home the exercises recommended by a professional.

Articulatory gymnastics for the sound t
It is necessary to do articulation exercises daily. Get used to the fact that in any free time you and your baby develop the speech apparatus.
Setting the T sound
- Choose several syllables or words that contain the letter combination TA, and repeat them at least 10 times.
- Place the tongue between the teeth and press it firmly, but at the same time so that it does not hurt the baby, with the jaw. Take a deep breath and, as you exhale, say an interdental T.
- Place your tongue between your teeth again. Stretch your teeth in a smile and “spit.” After this, give your jaw a rest.
- T is a derivative sound from P. Therefore, you can start warming up by practicing the sound P. Say Pa-Pa several times, while the wide part of the tongue should be pressed to the lower lip. Gradually stretch your lips into a smile and move on to pronouncing Ta-Ta.
- Place the tongue between the teeth. Say Pa-Pa again several times. At this moment, the adult spreads the child’s lips with his index finger and thumb. When the manipulation is performed correctly, Ta-Ta is pronounced.
Sound production
- Talk to the child Ta-Ta.
- A special paddle is used to soften the sound. Use it to press the tip of your tongue and lower it down. You should get the letter combination Tya.
- The sound Th is produced by clicking the tip of the tongue; the teeth should be closed at this time.
- You can complicate the exercise: do not press your tongue against the palate, but stick it out.
Setting and automating the “T” sound
Preparatory stage
Complex of articulatory gymnastics for the sound “T”
(each exercise is performed 5-8 times, counting from 5 to 15; in one lesson, children should not be offered more than 3-4 exercises; exercises are performed from simple to complex; exercises are performed sitting in front of a mirror; of the exercises performed, only one can be new , the rest are given for repetition and consolidation):
Exercise “Fence” : stretch your lips as much as possible (smile), show your upper and lower teeth; The upper teeth are opposite the lower teeth, the distance between them is 1 mm.
Exercise “Pancake” : mouth slightly open, lips not tense, relaxed; a wide, flat pancake tongue rests quietly on the lower lip; hold this position for at least 10 seconds.
Exercise “Brushing your teeth” : open your mouth wide, smile, showing your teeth; use the tip of your tongue to “brush your teeth” from the inside, moving it left and right (first the lower ones, then the upper ones); the tip of the tongue should be behind the teeth; the lips smile all the time, the lower jaw does not move.
Exercise “Horse” : open your mouth slightly, smile, showing your teeth; click your tongue slowly-quickly-slowly; look at the tongue and do not move the lower jaw.
Exercise “Delicious jam” : lick your upper lip from top to bottom with the wide flat tip of your tongue; the lower lip is pulled down, the teeth do not bite the tongue - the lower teeth are visible.
Breathing exercises
Making the sound “T” requires a sharp and strong exhalation, so it is necessary to develop the ability to exhale correctly.
Breathing exercises complex:
Exercise “Snowflake” : smile, open your mouth slightly, place the wide front edge of your tongue on your upper lip so that its side edges are pressed and there is a groove in the middle of the tongue, and blow off the snowflake cotton wool placed on the tip of your nose. The air should go in the middle of the tongue, then the fleece will fly up.
Exercise “Football match” : blow on a cotton ball - “ball”, trying to “score a goal” into the goal (two cubes) - the cotton wool should be between the cubes. Exercise “Feather, fly!”: throw a feather up and blow on it, not letting it fall down. Please note that you need to blow strongly, directing the air stream towards the feather from bottom to top.
Exercise “Pencil” : a pencil lies on the table at a distance of 20 cm from the child; Blow forcefully on the pencil so that it rolls to the opposite edge of the table.
Exercise “Flag”: blow on a paper strip, bringing it to your lower lip (the strip should be held with your thumb and forefinger): turn the paper strips into real flags.
Making the sound "T"
• The lips in a neutral position take the position of the next vowel, • The distance between the teeth is 5 mm. • When pronouncing the vowel sounds A, O, U, Y, the tip of the tongue rests on the upper teeth or alveoli and forms a stop. • The soft palate is raised, the vocal folds are open, the air stream is jerky • Demonstration of the correct position of the lips and tongue: the speech therapist shows the differences in the pronunciation of T (tip of the uvula) and K (tail of the uvula).
• Imitation setting : the speech therapist invites the child to repeat first the syllables and then the words, it is advisable to start with the syllable “ta” (ta-ta-ta, ta-you-to-tu, you-you-you, you-ta-to- that, that-that, that-that-that-you).
• Interdental method: the speech therapist shows the child the position of the tongue (the tongue is pressed between the lips, in this position you need to exhale strongly until you hear a sound, then place the tongue behind the teeth).
• Making the sound “T” from the sound “P” : the child repeats pa-pa-pa, placing the wide tip of the tongue on the lower lip, then, smiling widely, pronounces – P (it turns out – T).
• Production from Ts (reception from the opposite): the sound Ts “hides” two sounds behind itself - s-t.
Speech therapy exercises
It is necessary to work on overall articulation and clarity of speech. For this, simple and interesting speech therapy complexes are used. We present one of these to your attention.
- “Brushing our teeth.” Stretch your lips in a smile, mouth slightly open. Use your tongue to walk alternately over the upper and lower teeth from the back side. Move from left to right and then in the opposite direction.
- "Spatula". Smile again with your mouth slightly open. Place the wide part of your tongue on your lower lip. Stay in this position for 10 seconds. You can start with 5 seconds.
- “Tube”. Extend your tongue as much as possible and tense it. Then, if possible, roll it up into a tube and stay in this position for 5-10 seconds.
- "Swing". Open your mouth slightly and press the wide part of your tongue against your lower teeth. Then raise your tongue to your upper teeth. We linger in each position for 2-3 seconds. In this case, you need to press with maximum force.
- "Slide". Starting position – mouth slightly open. Press the tip of your tongue firmly against the bottom row of teeth. Then, without lifting the tip, press with the wide part of your tongue (it should bend as if). Stay in this position for 5 seconds.
- "Mountain Wind" Place your tongue in the position described in the previous exercise and blow as hard as possible. In this case, the entire speech apparatus should be tense.
Making the sound “T” step by step
The classic methods of correctional work in speech therapy are the preparatory stage, sound production, its automation and differentiation.
Preparatory stage
At the preparatory stage, an articulatory warm-up is carried out to prepare the speech apparatus for work.
Perform the following exercises sequentially:
At this stage, it is also important to do breathing exercises so that when pronouncing a problem sound, you learn to regulate the strength of the air stream:
Introduce your child to the characteristic “T”:
Setting the sound t when replacing with k
- First you need to teach your baby to distinguish between these two sounds. To do this, you can give pictures, the images in which begin with the sounds T or K, and also pronounce such words out loud. Ask the child to distribute into groups (K and T).
- Game “Catch the Sound”. The adult pronounces a small series of letter combinations, and the child must clap his hands when he hears the given sound.
- We are looking for the sound K. Dar-ra-ko-so. Sa-lo-ku-we. Am-da-ka-he ku-ro-lo-ky
- We are looking for the sound T. Ba-ta-do. Na-la-to. Ash-bo-ot. Ju-fu-fu.
Setting the t sound for dysarthria
At the very beginning, you need to pay attention to warming up the tongue and removing tone, as well as general gymnastics for the speech apparatus. For this purpose, the speech therapy exercises listed above are used.
- Raise and lower your tongue, turn right and left. In this case, the tongue is extended as much as possible.
- Then the adult invites the child to tap his tongue on the upper palate (the sound should be T).
- To obtain a soft consonant, the tongue is pressed harder against the palate and moves out more between the teeth. At the same time, the passage for air is reduced.
- To practice the T sound, it is pronounced between two vowels (at least 10 repetitions).
- The baby must cluck at least 20 times. After this, the task becomes more complicated: you need to click while exhaling, not while inhaling.
- The child is asked to place his palm on his larynx. After this, pronounce the sounds T and D. Focus on the difference in vibrations during the pronunciation of the sounds T and D.
Correct articulation of the “T” sound
To pronounce “T” clearly, you need to:
- slightly open your lips and teeth;
- rest your tongue on the upper front incisors;
- raise the soft palate;
- pay attention to the fact that the air stream should be jerky;
- don't turn on your voice.
When pronouncing a soft “T”, the curved back of the tongue rests on the alveoli of the upper teeth with its front part, and its tip is located at the lower incisors.
The reasons that the sound “T” is pronounced incorrectly when the formation of the speech apparatus is completed may be a violation of the muscle tone of the organs of articulation or difficulties in differentiating with other sounds.
